Story with a Photo

Today is the last chance of the year to buy food from clubs during Multicultural week. Of course, this means another crowd of students anxious to get their hands on milk tea or spam musubis for the last time while clubs call for them to "Buy this!" and "Buy that!". As a member of the American Red Cross club here at Mission, I am selling for my club today (although I sold for the other days as well, today I am excused to set up and clean up). While it can be a tiny bit stressful when trying to sell out our club's food (Hawaiian barbecue), I sometimes find it amusing to shout at everyone I personally know within an audible distance to get "Hawaiian barbecue! Five tickets!". Fortunately, we have sold out every day this week. I am certain that today will be no exception.

Multicultural Week

Multicultural week is one of the two special week long celebrations here at Mission, the other being Homecoming. For MSJ students, this annual tradition means food, and lots of it. For MSJ clubs, it means money, and lots of it (hopefully). When the lunch bell rings, hoards of hungry students rush out of their fourth period classrooms towards the horseshoe, where the aromas of cultural foods and not so cultural foods beckon them. Basically, the horseshoe is the center of all chaos for an hour a day. This goes on for the first four days. On Friday, the special lunches are replaced by an assembly featuring multiple performances and activities, signaling the end of Multicultural Week.

Shutter Speed and Everything After/ Tuesday with Farley's Kids

Partner: Amandi Kwok

In this New York Times Lens photo,

Shutter speed: Fast- the trucks are moving but the pictures are still clear. They are not blurry.
Rule of composition: Lines- your eyes are instantly drawn to the lines created by the trucks, road, and railroads
Elements of Art: Form- the trucks create a three-dimensional shape of a rectangular prism. They express length, width, and height.
Principles of Design: Movement- the trucks on the right are moving away from the camera. Since there are two cars going in the same direction, the eyes tend to move along with them toward a spot far away. There are even tiny trucks in the distance.
